The Wichita State softball team saw their season end early about a month ago due to the spread of COVID-19. For its three seniors – Ryleigh Buck, Bailey Lange and Madison Perrigan – it meant the possibility of their careers being cut short without playing a single home game in their final season.
But with a landmark decision from the NCAA on March 31, spring sport seniors across the country were awarded another chance at their senior season. This past Monday, the three seniors announced their return to WSU for another chance at a senior season.
For the three seniors, hearing that the NCAA would allow them a “fifth season” was very exciting news, as they look to finish out their careers in a much more positive fashion.
